Way down in the jungle deep….

An unimaginable treasure resides in a location blind to the eyes of man. Lost to this world, removed from its history, this fortune sits, untouched for thousands of years. Only trace that the riches even exist come in the form of ghost stories. Talk of armies of men heading into the jungles, looking for what may not be real, then never to be seen from again. Some stories differ, with one person returning to tell the gruesome tale. But they always end the same.

But one person plans on changing the story. Bringing to light, what has stayed buried in the dark for so long. One person will head into the jungle, but return a legend. A rich legend, but a legend none the less.

DUE DATE: Friday 11:59 pm (GMT) April 30th

Idea:

Create and model an Indiana Jones (treasure hunter) type character.

Poly limit:

10,000 Tris Total. You can do whatever you want with these, just don’t get carried away and don’t exceed the 10,000 Tri Limit. Remember, the limit tells you where to stop, there is no minimum, so use as much of the limit as you see fit.

Textures:

-1 x 2048 Color Map
-1 x 2048 Reflection Map
-1 x 2048 Specular Map
-1 x 2048 Specular Color Map
-1 x 2048 Normal Map
-1 x 2048 Bump Map
-1 x 2048 Opacity (transparency) Map
-1 x 2048 Glow map
-1 x 2048 Glossiness map.

You can not chop it up into multiple smaller textures.

Textures can be hand-painted or you can use photographic sources. Do what you do.


Pedestals/Stands:

You do not have to create one, but if you do, understand that there is no texture or tri limit. You can go as crazy as you want, or keep it basic.

yep.

[Tarik2d]

I'm not in this one need to learn some animation. Good luck to everyone

[dhin]

sounds interesting... very interesting Dr. Jones.


SO we aren't making Indie (as that would probably have copyright implications with Lucas) but a 'Jones Like' treasure hunter, correct?

[silverflame]

I have a query..is there are time period for the character to be set in? also is it just humans/humanoids ie not robots etc?

no time period, but must be human-ish.

[Nikwing]

what makes the character is "Indiana Jones-ish"?

[chunkymunky]

This will be so so cool!

[Bananaman]

I'm thinking of entering if I can come up with a fun and interesting character. But could you define human-ish?

Because I was thinking of making an humanoid alien? The story behind him (it) would be that the human race was extinct. After a few centuries aliens would land on earth to do research to the history of the humans. By sending out several of their top alien tomb raiders/explorers/indies to find out as much as possible.

But would this fall in the current subject or would you rather keep it more earthly?

[BiG ToE-3DT]

that's fine.

The main thing here is to make an explorer type character, and to have fun while doing it.
